More on JEP

This will be my third blog post on Jeremy "Elvis" Pearce (JEP). Again I want to say that JEP is thee best Elvis Tribute Artist (ETA) out there. I learned about ETAs on his website. Again his website only works in IE 6.0 or better, Firefox and Crome users too bad.

What makes JEP so good? First he can sing like the King. He can move like the King, the units who have seen Elvis in Vegas even say that with his shades on, he is a dead ringer. HE has that special something that just entertains and captivates. Finally he remembers his fans. As noted on this blog earlier, ol' JEP remembered me, TofuNinja. he even summerized my blog post more or less. He mentioned that I was eating a Tri-Tip Sandwich with the Admiral and his fiancee. WOW! Combine off of these and you have one really great ETA.



Having watched him twice now I have to say with the band, the JEP Band, he rocks out and was better than the year before. I know that is hard to imagine. But he was. It added something cool and new to the show. It truly was special.



JEP's show is a super one and I am hoping that we can fit him into our budget for our wedding somewhere.



Also he always makes time for his fans. After his show he makes each fan, me included, feel like we were the ONLY one at the show. I hope to see him next year at the fair and as stated the previous year, he is the ONLY reason I really go to the fair. True I had to work the booster booth, and I go to see some of my students' work, but man Thursday night with JEP is a big big plus.



This is JEP with the boys. We are all smiles because he shocked us about reading my blog and he put on a kick butt show. He got the Fleet Admiral (Tyler) and Big John to Smile too!!! JEP was so good he made a fan out. John is a hard person to impress and he loved the Ghetto song..... too bad it wasn't until JEP sang the Ghetto song that he realized it was an Elvis song..... but hey.



Here is me and JEP taking one for the Blog!




Me and the Fiancee enjoying the show. She had only seen him perform once at a hockey game and only one song. She was super impressed with JEP. I remember after seeing a show at Roger Rockas asking her if she was interested in Elvis... she said no at the time.... I asked her a day after and she is all for it. JEP won her over too!


Here are a few bonus pictures because well, this is some of what I do at school. I am not the best at photoshop, but I do have a few trick up my sleeve so here are two I call, the King of Kings, best ETA in the Universe and American as Elvis!





Have a good one!

Can slobs build good houses?

Apparently they can. Walthen-Castonos, who built my house and is an incredible house builders, are slobs. In my hood, the European Grove, they are still building houses, this would not be a problem if they would just pick up their trash. My yard and the yards of others have been littered with trash from the workers. Not only do they NOT pick up their litter, we are told to deal with it that in buying our homes we signed a construction waiver. I haven't found it, but oh well. I would not mind as much if it wasn't for the RAZORS and NAILS and the likes that they LEAVE on the street. I even found a nail my driveway this morning....IN MY DRIVE WAY, a NAIL... that is BS. I have even gotten a flat tire and when I reported this to the sales office who are Walthen's reps here on site they told me to deal with in. They I had signed a waiver and I could try to call their CS department but it wouldn't help at all. He then asked for the door screw that punctured my tired and PROMISED to call me the next business day... NEVER HAPPENED! and he took the evidence, stupid me. Furthermore there have been more nails and more razors in the streets so things have not improved and this was a month ago that I reported it. I am not the only one to get a flat, the head sales rep said that many others have and that they had done jack for them.

What this shows me is that Wathen-Castonos doesn't care about the people who bought their houses. Why should they? They already have our money. Business is business. Screw your buyers. Well I am sure hat because of how they are handling and handled this situation that I will think twice about buying from the best home builders in Fresno again. Seriously. I mean what if a little kid (there are some that live here) picks one and slices himself with it, I am sure we will be told that we signed a waiver and the kids injures are unfortunate. What if a dog eats a nail and dies, Wathen-Castonos will say we signed a waiver and losing our pet was just unfortunate.

I love my house, I just don't like the way Wathen-Castonos does business. That is unfortunate.

Ninja Cat

LOL just saw this online for the first time. Cute.

The One Ring(s)

Ok so there are two rings involved... so yeah, hard to call them the one ring, but oh well. Well about a month ago I was proposed to and I said yes. My bride to be gave me this ring.

It is a simple 14K yellow gold band. I like it. she got this simple one for me so after we get married I can have the dates of our engagement engraved into the ring to make it more meaningful.

Her ring is prettier. She pretty much picked it out at a bridal show. We went to the jeweler and she immediately zeroed in on the same ring. So we got it. We saved a lot of money because my mom gave us her dad's diamond to put into the ring.

Some of the shots are a little blurry. But my Fiancee was so glad to finally get her ring, it had to be made, for several reasons. The first is it's pretty and represent my love for her and hers for me. Second she said she was getting strange looks at places because I had a band on and she didn't..... hahaha who know. I guess several means two :)

In Lemoore today

Well I will be in Lemoore today, I suppose I could bring my laptop and attempt to blog, but I won't have all my pictures.....so I will blog more tonight hopefully if I am not too tired.

What's in a name.......oh the shame.

Ok yesterday I found out that the best Elvis Tribute Artist (ETA) in the whole world, Jeremy Elvis Pearce (JEP), read by blog, I'll post pictures later. But when he asked me if I was TofuNinja I was floored. I admit I was a bit confused. How did he know my online screen name?!?!?! Even my friend John was thinking that it was just a joke until JEP summarized my blog post about me eating a tri tip sandwich with the Admiral and his fiancee..... I was happy and in awe. JEP read my blog!! Well then I got to thinking how in the world did JEP find my blog.....

Well there are certain things that you don't do. You don't tug on Superman's Cape, you don't spit into the wind, you don't pull the mask off the ol' Lone Ranger and You don't ask JEP how he found your blog.

This mystery was solved and I was shamed. You see I did a search for Jeremy Elvis Pearson, which is how I spelled his name in the original blog post... I was in shock that it was the very first result in a Google search. I was like booyeah! Then I realized that his own personal webpage was not in the results....... uh oh..... upon further research, I found that I indeed put the WRONG name down for the best ETA in the world.... oh the shame. It is not Jeremy Elvis Pearson, it was JEREMY ELVIS PEARCE.....

I am still not sure how he found it, but I am betting that Ol' JEP from time to time does a search for common or possible misspellings of his name and found my little ol' blog. Even classier was that JEP did not mention that to me. This just adds to the fact that JEP is not only the best ETA, he is a classy guy too. Thank you for not pointing out my grave mistake JEP! You truly are awesome, you took those funny pictures with the Admiral's fiancee pushing your booty and now this. You truly love your fans and we love you.

I just had to clear up the name mistake, even if it is a year late. Also check out his website: http://www.jeremyelvispearce.com/ Just FYI his site is best viewed in Internet Explorer. Mozilla firefox just gives a bunch of broken links... haven't tested it in Chrome..... but yeah IE works best.

IF you get a chance to see him live, do it. If you get to see him with the JEP band.....See it twice! I can not say this enough, I never saw the King himself, but having seen my share of other ETA, JEP is truly a King of Kings. Can't wait until next year... I might just have to catch him at a none Caruthers Fair gig.

Huge Blogging spree later tonight

That's right I have a lot to catch up on.... I am like a feast of famine here. But yeah. expect a feast over the next few days or just tonight I am not sure. For example, I will go into more detail later, but I'm recently engaged, coaching the Girls Tennis team again, started my second year of teaching, enjoying hanging with my friends, one of my best friend's father fell and hit his head last night, saw the best damn Elvis Tribute artist in the world AGAIN last night (With a cool surprise on that one too), and another one of my best friends is getting married in TWO weeks... WOW! But today I am off to work the fair boosters booth with my girls I will take pictures I hope. And I want to go to Costco to purchase stuff to sell in my class.

Baffled

There are only a few areas that I have considerable knowledge, pet care or above basic pet care is one of them. So it baffled me today to see two employees of Banfield the Pet Hospital, an organization that I used to work for, buying Puppy chow.....why does this baffle me.... let me get out the bullet points

1. Puppy Chow is like junk food, ANY one with any knowledge of pets know this. Yes it is cheap, but in the long run no because your pet will have to eat more of it do get the nutrients they need....

2. They complained about their two big dogs (one german) eating like 10 times a day... again see above.

3. Unless it changed Banfield has a great partnership with Royal Canin, which is one of the best foods out there. They would get it 50% off retail at Petsmart.... I used this all the time... it is great. More expensive then puppy chow... yes... but better food, their dogs will eat less and yeah....

Sigh.
